The guy in the back looks like he’s sniffing.

I wouldn’t know about the speed bump. They are dumping the water on the ice to refreeze it, though.

140.82.121.5

Well, apparently, this is an A record for api.github.com. This name resolves to a different IP around the globe. See www.whatsmydns.net/#A/api.github.com

The IP is detected as “clean” on VirusTotal: www.virustotal.com/gui/ip-address/…/detection , although apparently (probably not surprising as it is github) is also a favorite address for everything including malware.

Maybe you can ask in the keepassxc discussion forum on github.

VirusTotal doesn’t indicate keepassxc.exe 2.7.7 contacts this address. I’d be careful. Check the binaries’ signatures. Try a full install to see if that behaves differently.

The canon is used to induce a radical evasive movement. Probably need lots of airbags. Looks awesome, though; would have loved it as a toy car.

… officials had opened a fraud investigation against the man, confirming 130 vaccinations over nine month… The man then reported an additional 87 vaccinations to the researchers, which in total included eight different vaccine formulations, including updated boosters.

It’s like saying, if you can’t figure this out, you aren’t worth the one extra dog you have, please give it away.

I can see orgies of blackmailing.

Squire1039, to asklemmy in If someone nefarious has your full legal name and your phone number, can they wreak any havoc in our life with that info?
@Squire1039@lemm.ee avatar

Have I been pawned is really nice, but only includes confirmed data leaks. If you use other services like Google or Malwarebyte, they will tell you more leaks. I was involved with the MoveIt data leak from a financial institution recently, which basically leaked all the information that possibly can be partly/wholely used for identity theft. This didn’t show up in HIBP. Fidelity Financial Life Insurance just leaked enough info via Infosys for another 30,000 customers with enough data for identity thefts recently.

In the US, it seems if somebody is able financially to aggregate all these sensitive data leaks, they probably can cause havocs to many people. These info often come from financial institutions, which you can’t totally withhold or lie about your personal information.

@Squire1039@lemm.ee avatar

Spoofing a number means they can call somebody and appears as calling from your number. In order to receive SMS or call made to your number, they would have to hijack your SIM, typically convincing your telecom provider to transfer your phone info over to theirs.

In the US, someone knowing your full name and phone number is commonplace. There is no wide-spead havoc because of this. Someone who wants to harm you would really have to be motivated to get more information from the info you gave them. This is obviously possible because of wide-spread data leaks, but does your emissary have the perseverance and the knowledge to do this?

Apparently a common experience with no apparent satisfactory solutions to everybody involved.

The MLs have been shown to be extraordinarily good at statistically guessing your words. The words covered are probably comprehensive.
